South Mediterranean: similarities, a least squares or regression? ROISSY

After recent events in Tunisia, a beautiful and rich country, friendly and close to the European visitor (again, one must escape from mass tourism and easy, which involves transplanting the lifestyle in the sun and simply eat what is given to pasture), it is tempting to draw comparisons with countries neighbors.

Indeed, some neighboring countries are "democracies muscled" system I've known for 2 years to Philippines: a constitution, a democratic system to appearances, but a hyper-powerful President of a politically and economically, an army and police "effective" within the country, an opposition held at a distance, family and friends enjoying the power of the President. A system that needs to be constantly "oiled" at all levels and all occasions, to function properly.

At the time, it was said that the President Ferdinand Marcos was in the "Mining Industry". Not so much for its potential interest in copper mines or gold (the Philippines was an average producer in this sector). But because it tended to make "THIS IS MINE" (this is mine).

Southern countries of the Mediterranean have some common points:

• invaded and ruled for centuries by Romans, Arabs (Umayyads, Abbasids, or other), the Ottomans from the 16th century, Europeans from the 19th or early 20th century
• they had their independence and / or revolution of the 40s to the 60s
• a formal language and religion, elements of culture
• leaders in place for some time: Algeria: born in 1937, serving since 1999 , Tunisia: born in 1936, here since 1987, Libya: born in 1942, here since 1969, Egypt: born in 1928, here since 1981. 3 of 4 were formerly a military career
• a certain cult of personality (required)
• much of the youth population; much with limited resources
• a concentration of population on a small portion of the territory, the rest is desert plain
• situation and reports
square

These countries are of course quite different by population size, wealth or non-hydrocarbon, or not to open to tourism, mentality of the people, etc..

The near future will tell whether these variables do not support the path of a linear regression line , like Yi = axi + b (same causes, same effects).
